There is a natural law that says all operating systems, if they survive and evolve for long enough, become a Windows clone.

How else are you going to put k8s on your CV? :-P

Thanks I'll have a look. For now I just had a sane retry strategy. Not that I have any traffic, mind you :-)))

Does your coworker run a blog on k8s?

Thanks! even I run a sqlite in "production" (is it production if you have no visitors?) and WAL mode is enabled, but I had to work around concurrent writes, so I was really confused. I may have misunderstood the comments.

Does WAL really offer multiple concurrent writers? I know little about DBs and I've done a couple of Google searches and people say it allows concurrent reads while a write is happening, but no concurrent writers?

Not everybody says so... So, can anyone explain what's the right way to think about WAL?

I don't know what to say. People keep saying these engineers exist and here I am not having seen a single, and I follow many indie hackers communities.

Very nice!

Does tela create an L3 network? if that's the case, what do you do to avoid IP addressing clashes? In Wormhole I decided by default to use CGNAT addressing (100.64.0.0/10)

I did not go too far unfortunately, so I did not face problems such as discoverability (do you have to know/remember all the IP addresses from the devices connected? DNS? etc).

You are rebuilding tailscale but requiring a centralised hub. I did the same in 2016 (pre-tailscale?) https://web.archive.org/web/20160304013451/https://wormhole....

I am not sure WireGuard existed at the time, and I used SoftEther and based it all on doing outbound tunnels to TCP/443* to avoid firewall blocks in corporate networks.

You could explore full P2P by leveraging UDP hole punching: https://cloudnetworking.pro/firewall-bypass-series-1-2/ https://cloudnetworking.pro/firewall-bypass-encapsulating-tr...

(WireGuard may already do it, dunno)

Also, fun fact, tela is also Spanish for fabric. Given the Filipino history, I guess it comes from there.

I am working on an internal tool for one of my customers in the same arena and it is incredible how little creativity LLMs have - they end up showing similarly-looking software that explore the same "novel" ideas.

I gotta say though your UI looks sleek!

InfraScaler — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 16:00:58 +0000

Sometimes I feel some of these rewrites or competitors to existing products just completely miss the point. We don't use ngrok because it has low latency or not. I'd say the amount of ngrok users that care that much about the latency you can shave off using QUIC is negligent.

Do you have any use cases where this is important?

Not necessarily. They could be just painted and barely take any room.

There are more than 15k only in Spain. 10k in the US is nothing.
